兒子四歲了, 對死亡的概念很迷惑. 他心愛的兩條小魚之一最近死了, 在 解釋了無數遍之後, 終於接受了小魚不會再醒來的事實. 有時看着魚缸里的那條小魚, 會想起另一條, 嘆口氣: "Poor little fishie"

之後不久的一天, 突然很嚴肅地問: Mommy, how long can I live?

我答: 你會活兩百歲.

仰着小臉兒, 眼淚已在眼眶裡打轉, 問: What will happen if I die? I don't wanna die.

心軟, 答: You are gonna be a new baby again.

問: Are you and Daddy gonna die? I don't want you die.

心酸，恐怕總會有那一天，答：Even if Mommy and Daddy are dead, we will always be with you.

問：You will always be in my heart? Like Little Foot's Mommy?

低頭，眼淚已在眼眶裡打轉，答：Yes, we will always always be in your heart!

註：　Little Foot is a little dinosaur whose Mommy was hit by a meteorite.
